"A mixture of classical tragedy perfectly imbued with film noir....Ā  House of Sand and Fog Ā is the work of a writer who is the real thing."ā€” The Baltimore Sun

A recent immigrant from the Middle Eastā€”a former colonel in the Iranian Air Forceā€”yearns to restore his family's dignity in California. A recovering alcoholic and addict down on her luck struggles to hold onto the one thing she has leftā€”her home. And her lover, a married cop, is driven to extremes to win her love.

Andre Dubus III's unforgettable charactersā€”people with ordinary flaws, looking for a small piece of ground to stand onā€”careen toward inevitable conflict. Their tragedy paints a shockingly true picture of the country we live in today.
